Dems seek votes, neighbor to neighbor

NY State Dems announced today the launch of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) Neighborhood Volunteer program in New York.

New York is one of the next 9 states to debut the program, which was tested in Virginia and Ohio in 2007 and has been rolling out across the country as part of the DNC’s 50-state strategy.

When a volunteer signs up, an online field tool will identify registered voters in the person’s neighborhood and give them tips on how to canvass and talk to their neighbors. Volunteers can also print flyers on their own to distribute.
